Modeling of Thermal Spraying Heat Transfer Processes by Exodus Stochastic Method

This article deals with the application of the stochastic Exodus method for modelling of thermal spraying heat transfer processes and for solving direct and indirect problems. The Exodus stochastic method has an advantage in straightforward solving of the transient inverse heat transfer multi-dimensional problems over other methods based on iterative fittings procedures used for example by finite element methods (FEM). Theoretical background of the method is introduced. Application capabilities of the method are shown on the example of high velocity oxygen fuel thermal spraying heat transfer process analysis. Comparisons with results of FEM computational method application are presented.
